Hi Gianluca
Thanks for trying and reporting this issue. The root cause of the compilation
issue is found as: "when CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN is not set, the
<include/acpi/processor.h> is not included, thus the "struct acpi_processor" is
not defined, which will cause compiling error for inline function
processor_cntl_xen_prepare(struct acpi_processor *pr);"
I've worked out the attached patch, could you please try it? Thanks
For the second question, CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN control whether enabling Xen
Cx/Px power management or not. CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN depends on both
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR and CPU_FREQ, if CPU_FREQ=n, the
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN will not be set, so the empty version is used and Xen
Cx/Px power management will not be enabled. This is intended usage. Anything
wrong observed in your side?
Best Regards
Ke

Subject: About CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN
Hi,
While configuring dom0 kernels I've found certaing things in the
handling of CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN which are confusing to me.
- In case CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR is set as a module (which was the
default in my system) the compilation will break, because
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN will not be set.
- CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR_XEN is only set when CPU_FREQ=y, but these
functions are used (in their empty versions) even when
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y and CPU_FREQ=n. Is this the intended use?
Thanks,
Gianluca
